For people using Mastodon, what is the status of the discoverability issue? I remember it being worked on, but not sure what the status it now.
Thankfully on the Threadiverse we have https://lemmy-federate.com/ and Piefed community discovery: https://piefed.social/post/531611, so the issue is mostly solved nowadays, but it’s easier to discover communities compare to each single poster
I mean, they pretty much gave their feedback on this post: https://rblind.com/post/3476242
Not sure if this community is even federated with them, I don’t have an alt on that instance
Could maybe be added as part of the default themes?
From the instance sidebar:
Have a look to see which one you prefer
If it’s a one off share thing it’s probably fine the way you do it.
I guess our perspectives are different because I’m more active on communities that are active “in the long run”, such as !buyeuropean@feddit.uk, !movies@lemm.ee, !privacy@programming.dev
Also, most of the value of Reddit and Lemmy comes from the comments. Having splintered discussions in several similar communities prevents interesting conversations from happening.
Is disagree. It means to me that there is still a preference for centralisation in the mind, which is limiting.
You still need a minimum number of active contributors to keep the communities active. If everyone wants to post to their own community, they should switch to a microblog format, there everyone has their own feed.
Communities consolidation happens all the time (see !fedigrow@lemm.ee ), because people get tired of “shouting into the void” on their community alone, and join forces with other people on a shared community.
Also, I don’t see multiple communities on different instances as a problem. We’re on the fediverse, not reddit.
It is an issue when the multiple communities have the same content and rules, and just splinter the conversation.
As someone who is doing most of the heavylifting on !buyeuropean@feddit.uk, I would rather have people posting additional content to it than just crossposting the content to a new community where nobody comments.
Examples:
Thank you for posting this.
It should just be added to the Lemmy default set of themes. Doesn’t cost much, and then that’s another argument to show that Lemmy is better than Reddit on that side (Reddit mostly ignored /r/blind claims that 3-rd party apps had better support for accessibility during the API fiasco)
